Translational Molecular Pathology

Our group aims to unravel the molecular mechanisms of cancer progression and metastasis to identify new diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic targets in cancer. By combining the knowledge and availability of human tumors in the Pathology department with the expertise of the basic molecular cell biology research group, we focus on:

  • Understanding: the molecular mechanisms underlying clonal cooperation and intercellular communication in heterogeneous tumors.
  • The role of MNK kinases in cellular stress resistance.
  • The role of ITGB3 in intercellular communication via extracellular vesicles in cancer metastasis (Santiago Ramon y Cajal).
  • The role of direct cell-cell communication via gap junctions and intercellular protrusions in cancer (Trond Aasen)
  • The malignant transition of Plexiform Neurofibromas (Cleofe Romagosa).

The ten groups within the Cancer Area combine basic, translational and clinical research to identify new targets, biomarkers and therapeutic strategies

The grants promote new therapeutic strategies and diagnostic tools in highly complex tumors such as glioblastoma, triple-negative breast cancer, and endometrial cancer.

The Department of Health of the Generalitat de Catalunya grants subsidies for carrying out validation tests on innovative projects in the field of health that are in the early stages of development.
